May I Remind You of My Book?

My viewership doubled today. People have plainly enjoyed the "How to Play" post. And so I would ask the gentle reader to consider - I've shown my ability to keep a sustained thought going, and bring it to a satisfactory conclusion.

Certainly, my book, Pete's Garage, would be a greater example of the same. It is merely the cost of four cappuccinos. It is very easy to buy. The website is clear and easy to understand. Others on this site already have their copy. Join them. Buy Pete's Garage Here.

Ah damnit. I was resolutely opposed to purchasing the book simply because you were so adamant that anyone should buy it. I don't know what other attitude I should suspect an author to have but contrariness is in my nature.

Despite myself, I thought I should at least read the preview, fully intent on finding reasons to dismiss the book.

Personally, I think I will go with the ebook option, as soon as I figure out if it will work with the platforms I have. WANT NOW! *Sorry my intelligence of 8 is showing* See ebook makes it all better...

I'm probably gonna get it as soon as my stack of to-read books has been devoured. I'll not read the preview in case it will break my resolve.

That being said, at 19$ it seems a tad pricey for an ebook. Am I just out of touch with current pricings for e-literature, or is it a side effect of self publishing? (I'm still gonna get it, as the Norwegian krone is strong)

Additional Content

Began playing Dungeons and Dragons at the age of 15, thirty-eight years ago. I am a steadfast AD&D gamer, but I have made so many changes to the original system that my present model is something of a Frankenstein's monster of role-playing design. I continue to make new changes every day to my game's structure and function.

The Net has described me as a 'mad scientist of RPG blogging,' and a 'Quixotic bastard' ... and also 'the most gonzo - and the grouchiest - old school DM.'

Progress on The Fifth Man

I have chosen to back up a bit again, as I am unhappy with chapter 17 and I feel ready to start it again. It is a difficult chapter; exposition chapters always are. It has been too long since I've picked up this book; readers are hardly likely to notice that I've changed this description. Nevertheless, I am at this again.

Progress on the third draft, finalized (will likely be some continuity fixes) stand as follows:

May 9, 2018

Distance today: 1,025 words

Total distance: 73,517

Chapter in progress: 17
